00:00:04,352 --> 00:00:05,831
Mr. Pierce?
3
00:00:05,875 --> 00:00:07,659
[Jefferson] What the hell
is this place?
4
00:00:07,703 --> 00:00:08,356
-[Jefferson grunts]
-[Lala] A glimpse
of the future.
5
00:00:08,399 --> 00:00:10,184
Don't fret.
6
00:00:10,227 --> 00:00:12,664
My filters, they keep
the combatant's identity
secret.
7
00:00:12,708 --> 00:00:14,840
-Fight or get out.
-[bell dings]
8
00:00:14,884 --> 00:00:16,755
Lynn, how is your sobriety?
9
00:00:16,799 --> 00:00:19,845
I injected myself
with Wendy's powers
and went out there.
10
00:00:19,889 --> 00:00:22,370
You didn't beat Glimmer,
you just traded
one drug for another.
11
00:00:22,413 --> 00:00:23,893
[TC] You look like trash.
12
00:00:23,936 --> 00:00:26,330
Like you've been
partying all night.
13
00:00:26,374 --> 00:00:28,071
[Jennifer] No,
there's always a comedown
when I go to the ionosphere.
14
00:00:28,115 --> 00:00:30,160
[TC] Well, how about
you stop going up there?
15
00:00:30,204 --> 00:00:31,944
Absorbing that much power
has to have some type
of consequence, Jen.
16
00:00:31,988 --> 00:00:33,729
I'm fine. I know my limits.
17
00:00:33,772 --> 00:00:36,036
-Are those--
-My pride and joy.
18
00:00:36,079 --> 00:00:38,560
The next generation

19
00:00:38,603 --> 00:00:40,301
-The press calls them the DEGs.-[Gambi chuckles]
20
00:00:42,216 --> 00:00:44,087
That's not good
for Black Lightning.
21
00:00:44,131 --> 00:00:45,610
[Gambi] That's not good
for anyone.
22
00:00:46,568 --> 00:00:48,048
[Tobias] Dr. Stewart.
23
00:00:48,091 --> 00:00:50,267
Please do me the honor
of joining me for dinner.
24
00:00:50,311 --> 00:00:52,095
I need a favor.
25
00:00:52,139 --> 00:00:54,445
-Your party's already seated.
-I'll find her, thank you.

29
00:01:15,771 --> 00:01:17,512
Lynn, something's wrong.
I can't move.
30
00:01:18,774 --> 00:01:20,254
It's because
you're dying, Jeff.
31
00:01:21,472 --> 00:01:22,604
You've been poisoned.
32
00:01:24,301 --> 00:01:25,128
Poisoned?
33
00:01:31,308 --> 00:01:33,005
Wait, wait, no,
you don't have to do that.
34
00:01:33,049 --> 00:01:35,617
Just help me up,
we can go get help.
35
00:01:35,660 --> 00:01:36,835

00:01:41,144 --> 00:01:43,842
It's okay, Jefferson.
Just let go.
39
00:01:43,886 --> 00:01:45,975
Just let go.
40
00:01:46,018 --> 00:01:47,281
[grunting] Lynn.
[inhales sharply]
41
00:01:49,848 --> 00:01:52,590
It's okay, Jefferson.
You can just let go.
42
00:01:52,634 --> 00:01:54,114
You can let go.
43
00:01:54,157 --> 00:01:55,027
-Gotta get up.
-[Lynn] You can let go.

00:02:07,562 --> 00:02:08,737
I just have one last question.
51
00:02:11,566 --> 00:02:13,133
Do you believe in resurrection?

So where are we at
with the DEGs?
65
00:03:02,921 --> 00:03:04,662
You were right.
66
00:03:04,706 --> 00:03:07,187
There's a way
to install a design flaw
in the DEGs
67
00:03:07,230 --> 00:03:09,493
that should delay
their rollout.
68
00:03:09,537 --> 00:03:11,408
But are you sure
you want to do this?
69
00:03:11,452 --> 00:03:13,497
The servers estimate
that these new DEGs
70
00:03:13,541 --> 00:03:15,499
will explode 37% of the time.
71
00:03:15,543 --> 00:03:17,849
It's a risk
we're gonna have to take.
72
00:03:17,893 --> 00:03:21,026
The Freeland PD is days away
from receiving
their first shipment of DEGs.
73
00:03:21,070 --> 00:03:24,247
And until I can figure out
a way to neutralize them,
74
00:03:24,291 --> 00:03:26,118
delaying Monovista's rollout
is the only way
75
00:03:26,162 --> 00:03:27,903
I can protect Jefferson
and the girls.
76
00:03:27,946 --> 00:03:29,339
So can you do it?
77
00:03:29,383 --> 00:03:30,819
Can you install
the design flaw?
78
00:03:32,647 --> 00:03:33,909
Is Kid 'n Play too hype?
79
00:03:35,998 --> 00:03:38,696
-The answer is yes, Gambi.
-[sighs in relief]
80
00:03:38,740 --> 00:03:40,176
I just need
a couple of minutes.

What's up, Mr. Jefferson?
82
00:03:49,272 --> 00:03:51,492
TC, maybe you should
work on that in your room.
83
00:03:52,754 --> 00:03:53,972
-Thanks, buddy.
-[TC sighs]
84
00:03:59,935 --> 00:04:02,590
I'm guessing
Lynn didn't come clean.

[scoffs]
86
00:04:05,419 --> 00:04:08,813
It's been three days, Gambi.
Three days and nothing.
87
00:04:08,857 --> 00:04:10,902
How could Lynn have dinner
with Tobias Whale?
88
00:04:10,946 --> 00:04:13,253
Why would she hide
something like that from me?
89
00:04:13,296 --> 00:04:15,820
Jefferson.
Lynn has been kidnapped,
90
00:04:15,864 --> 00:04:19,824
tortured, even killed
to protect your family.
91
00:04:19,868 --> 00:04:21,739
Don't you think
you should give her
the benefit of the doubt?
92
00:04:21,783 --> 00:04:23,393
No.
93
00:04:23,437 --> 00:04:24,742
No, I don't know if I could
ever trust her again.
94
00:04:24,786 --> 00:04:26,396
She hid her Glimmer addiction
from me,
95
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,572
shooting herself up
with powers, and now Tobias.
96
00:04:28,616 --> 00:04:30,574
-What else is she hiding?
-I don't know!
97
00:04:30,618 --> 00:04:32,750
But I am sure
Lynn will tell you about Tobias
98
00:04:32,794 --> 00:04:34,752
when she's ready.
99
00:04:34,796 --> 00:04:36,667
But in the meantime,
I think you should
just leave it alone.
100
00:04:36,711 --> 00:04:39,279
-Ah... [scoffs]
-At least
for a little while longer.
101
00:04:41,455 --> 00:04:42,804
[sighs]
102
00:04:43,674 --> 00:04:44,936
Fine.
103
00:04:44,980 --> 00:04:47,548
Fine. I will leave it alone.
For now.
104
00:04:49,811 --> 00:04:51,334
Now, what are we gonna do
about Tobias?
105
00:04:51,378 --> 00:04:52,857
We have to get him
off the streets
106
00:04:52,901 --> 00:04:54,772
before he does
whatever he's planning to do.
107
00:04:54,816 --> 00:04:58,036
I have been tracking
Tobias Whale's every move
108
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,126
-ever since
he returned to Freeland.
-Okay, and?
109
00:05:01,170 --> 00:05:03,433
Nothing. Everything he's done
since he came back
110
00:05:03,477 --> 00:05:04,956
has been
completely above board.
111
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:06,610
Oh, come on,
we know it's an act.
112
00:05:06,654 --> 00:05:08,351
It's Tobias
we're talking about here.
113
00:05:08,395 --> 00:05:11,702
Eventually, Mr. Tobias Whale
will slip up.
114
00:05:11,746 --> 00:05:13,182
But for now, he's untouchable.
115
00:05:15,010 --> 00:05:16,098
Yeah, we'll see about that.
116
00:05:36,727 --> 00:05:39,469
[clicks tongue] Well, well.
117
00:05:39,513 --> 00:05:43,255
I see you found
your knock off Joey Toledo
and Syonide.
118
00:05:47,042 --> 00:05:49,044
Can you two
give us a second, please?
119
00:05:54,571 --> 00:05:55,616
Have a seat, Jefferson.
120
00:05:57,705 --> 00:05:59,184
No.
121
00:05:59,228 --> 00:06:00,490
No. I think I'll stand.
122
00:06:00,534 --> 00:06:02,666
Let me rephrase.
123
00:06:02,710 --> 00:06:04,755
Sit your weak monkey-ass down
124
00:06:04,799 --> 00:06:08,019
before all the people
of Freeland
learn that the Pierce family
125
00:06:08,063 --> 00:06:10,065
is the chocolate-covered
Incredibles.
126
00:06:19,422 --> 00:06:22,512
So to what do I owe
the pleasure of
this unexpected visit?
127
00:06:22,556 --> 00:06:26,255
I saw you here with Lynn.
128
00:06:26,298 --> 00:06:28,300
What you saw
is two colleagues
having dinner,
129
00:06:28,344 --> 00:06:31,391
discussing a possible
business venture.
130
00:06:31,434 --> 00:06:33,001
But you knew that already.
131
00:06:36,134 --> 00:06:38,049
Unless Lynn didn't tell you.
132
00:06:38,093 --> 00:06:39,703
Stay away from my family.
133
00:06:39,747 --> 00:06:41,966
You and Dr. Stewart
have been divorced for, what?
134
00:06:42,010 --> 00:06:43,446
A decade now?
135
00:06:43,490 --> 00:06:46,101
She's not family, sir.
She's a baby mama.
136
00:06:46,144 --> 00:06:48,059
Which means she can do
whatever she wants
137
00:06:48,103 --> 00:06:49,844
with whomever she wants.
138
00:06:50,671 --> 00:06:51,759
Including me.
139
00:06:56,851 --> 00:06:59,288
[chuckles]
140
00:06:59,331 --> 00:07:01,725
What's the matter, Jeff?
Can't keep a charge?
141
00:07:01,769 --> 00:07:04,336
I hear that happens
to men your age.
142
00:07:04,380 --> 00:07:07,165
Though there's medicine
to fix that.
143
00:07:07,209 --> 00:07:09,994
You got
all of these people fooled,
144
00:07:10,038 --> 00:07:14,825
with your big talk
and your large donations.
145
00:07:14,869 --> 00:07:18,263
But, like I said before,
I know who you are.
146
00:07:18,307 --> 00:07:20,744
As you should by now.
147
00:07:20,788 --> 00:07:22,137
I'm the man
who promised to take away
148
00:07:22,180 --> 00:07:24,661
everything you loved
in the world.
149
00:07:24,705 --> 00:07:27,011
And unlike
most of you hapless negroes,
150
00:07:28,056 --> 00:07:29,231
I'm a promise keeper.
151
00:07:31,712 --> 00:07:32,626
Thank you, sweetheart.
152
00:07:39,197 --> 00:07:40,503
You can stand now, Jeff.
153
00:07:42,157 --> 00:07:44,376
[Jefferson sighs]
154
00:07:46,378 --> 00:07:47,989
This isn't over.
155
00:07:48,032 --> 00:07:49,730
Well, it damn sure
feels over to me.
156
00:07:50,644 --> 00:07:51,514
Oh, and Jeff?
157
00:07:53,647 --> 00:07:54,691
Only if you can,
158
00:07:56,171 --> 00:07:57,346
give my love to Lynn.
159
00:08:13,362 --> 00:08:15,495
[Grace laughing]
160
00:08:15,538 --> 00:08:18,193
-I could have carried you,
you know.
-Oh, yeah, yeah.
161
00:08:18,236 --> 00:08:19,586
But who thought
of it first? Me.
162
00:08:21,675 --> 00:08:24,504
-Shonda, close door.
-[Shonda beeps]
Yes, my queen.
163
00:08:24,547 --> 00:08:27,245
I see some things
haven't changed.
164
00:08:27,289 --> 00:08:30,814
Oh, Lord. Are you really
about to start on me
with Shonda already?
165
00:08:30,858 --> 00:08:32,729
We just got home.
166
00:08:32,773 --> 00:08:34,688
All right, all right.
167
00:08:34,731 --> 00:08:36,907
-Well, we'll talk about
emancipating Shonda later.
-Okay.
168
00:08:36,951 --> 00:08:38,822
Right now,
I just want to run upstairs,
169
00:08:38,866 --> 00:08:42,826
grab a shower,
change into my favorite
pair of pajamas.
170
00:08:42,870 --> 00:08:45,089
Um... [clears throat] Um...
171
00:08:46,308 --> 00:08:48,528
About that,
172
00:08:48,571 --> 00:08:52,532
your pajamas are in storage
with all your other stuff.
173
00:08:52,575 --> 00:08:56,579
-I'm sorry.
-Anissa, you don't
have to be sorry.
174
00:08:56,623 --> 00:08:58,929
I was in a coma for a year,
what else were you
supposed to do?
175
00:08:58,973 --> 00:09:03,368
Let's just go to storage
and grab my stuff
later this week?
176
00:09:03,412 --> 00:09:05,109
Yeah, that sounds like a plan.
177
00:09:05,153 --> 00:09:06,546
-Great.
-[Anissa chuckles]
178
00:09:06,589 --> 00:09:08,417
'Cause I kind of miss
my reading chair.
179
00:09:08,460 --> 00:09:10,288
Wait, I thought you were
just wanting
to grab some clothes.
180
00:09:10,332 --> 00:09:13,683
Yeah, I was,
but there's other things
I want to grab too,
181
00:09:13,727 --> 00:09:16,773
like the chair, my easel,
my comics collection.
182
00:09:16,817 --> 00:09:19,950
Wait, whoa, whoa. Grace.
My loft, it already has a vibe
183
00:09:19,994 --> 00:09:22,692
and all that stuff
you're talking about
184
00:09:22,736 --> 00:09:25,565
doesn't really
fit the vibe in here.
185
00:09:25,608 --> 00:09:26,783
Your loft?
186
00:09:26,827 --> 00:09:28,219
Come on, you know what I meant.
187
00:09:28,263 --> 00:09:30,918
[scoffs] Yeah. I think I do.
188
00:09:31,658 --> 00:09:33,442
Grace! Grace!
189
00:09:37,794 --> 00:09:39,535
[softly] Damn. [sighs]
190
00:09:42,016 --> 00:09:43,626
Huh.
191
00:09:43,670 --> 00:09:44,975
I must admit. Tobias,
192
00:09:45,019 --> 00:09:47,238
your proposal
for the renovation
193
00:09:47,282 --> 00:09:49,414
of Freeland's south side was...
194
00:09:49,458 --> 00:09:50,502
It's impressive.
195
00:09:50,546 --> 00:09:52,113
A rebuilding like this,
196
00:09:52,156 --> 00:09:55,725
it's going to run you, what,
$60, $70 million?
197
00:09:55,769 --> 00:09:57,074
Eighty-three to be exact.
198
00:09:57,118 --> 00:09:58,641
-But who's counting?
-[chuckles]
199
00:09:58,685 --> 00:10:00,948
I told you, Mayor.
Freeland is my home.
200
00:10:00,991 --> 00:10:03,254
And I want to see it restored
back to its former glory.
201
00:10:03,298 --> 00:10:06,431
With that being said,
a personal investment
of this magnitude
202
00:10:06,475 --> 00:10:08,520
is going to require
some assurances.
203
00:10:10,697 --> 00:10:12,089
What kind of assurances?
204
00:10:12,133 --> 00:10:14,439
Well, frankly,
Freeland's become a magnet
205
00:10:14,483 --> 00:10:16,267
for random violence.
206
00:10:16,311 --> 00:10:17,965
I just saw on the news
the other day
207
00:10:18,008 --> 00:10:19,923
that one of Freeland's finest
got beat down by a meta
208
00:10:19,967 --> 00:10:22,491
and wound up in the hospital
with a broken hip.
209
00:10:22,534 --> 00:10:24,972
Between the gangs
and the metahumans,
210
00:10:27,322 --> 00:10:30,020
no person,
no piece of property is safe.
211
00:10:30,064 --> 00:10:31,979
Well, what if
I could assure you
212
00:10:32,022 --> 00:10:35,373
that all this
is about to change?
213
00:10:35,417 --> 00:10:38,507
Mr. Whale, we're two days away
from receiving a shipment
214
00:10:38,550 --> 00:10:41,205
of second generation DEGs
from Monovista.
215
00:10:41,249 --> 00:10:42,816
Once Freeland PD's
fully outfitted,
216
00:10:42,859 --> 00:10:45,209
we will take the streets back
from the gangs.
217
00:10:45,253 --> 00:10:47,385
And those walking
science experiments.
218
00:10:47,429 --> 00:10:49,692
[sighs]
219
00:10:49,736 --> 00:10:51,389
I like the way
you think, Chief.
220
00:10:51,433 --> 00:10:53,391
I like the way she thinks,
Mayor.
221
00:10:53,435 --> 00:10:54,871
Have you given any thought
222
00:10:54,915 --> 00:10:56,220
as to when and where
you're gonna announce
223
00:10:56,264 --> 00:10:58,179
the DEG launch?
224
00:10:58,222 --> 00:11:00,790
Oh, yes, my PR team
has come up with a few ideas.
225
00:11:00,834 --> 00:11:03,575
But my favorite so far
is announce
226
00:11:03,619 --> 00:11:05,447
at a gun buyback event.
227
00:11:07,536 --> 00:11:09,538
I think I may know
the exact location
228
00:11:09,581 --> 00:11:11,366
where you should
hold the event.
229
00:11:11,409 --> 00:11:13,585
Have you heard of
the Homeless Safe Zone
up north?
230
00:11:13,629 --> 00:11:15,587
Holding it there will let
the people of Freeland know
231
00:11:15,631 --> 00:11:20,505
that its mayor cares
about the safety
of all Freeland residents.
232
00:11:20,549 --> 00:11:23,204
Even if they can't donate
to his campaign.
233
00:11:24,596 --> 00:11:26,468
That is a great idea.
234
00:11:27,208 --> 00:11:28,600
Unity.
235
00:11:28,644 --> 00:11:30,690
It's exactly
what Freeland needs.
236
00:11:30,733 --> 00:11:33,431
You know, I may come to you
for a little help,
237
00:11:33,475 --> 00:11:34,998
if that's all right.
238
00:11:35,042 --> 00:11:36,043
Anything for Freeland.
239
00:11:37,392 --> 00:11:39,350
Tobias.
240
00:11:39,394 --> 00:11:43,093
Can we leave here today
knowing we can count on
your investment?
241
00:11:43,137 --> 00:11:44,399
Well, if you and this pretty
little chief here
242
00:11:44,442 --> 00:11:45,705
can keep up
your end of the bargain,
243
00:11:45,748 --> 00:11:47,271
I'll definitely keep up mine.

are we talking?

[clicks tongue]
Maybe he should just stay away.
516
00:26:15,530 --> 00:26:18,620
And what...
What has Black Lightning
actually really done anyway?
517
00:26:18,664 --> 00:26:21,101
Yeah, he beat down some thugs
every now and again.
518
00:26:21,144 --> 00:26:23,930
But what difference
has he actually made?
519
00:26:23,973 --> 00:26:25,279
[glass slams on table]
520
00:26:25,322 --> 00:26:27,586
Y'all got some
short-ass memories.
521
00:26:27,629 --> 00:26:29,588
The man put together
a crew of metas
522
00:26:29,631 --> 00:26:33,287
and battled
the US government and Markovia
to save Freeland.
523
00:26:33,330 --> 00:26:35,071
If he hadn't done that,
524
00:26:35,115 --> 00:26:37,291
we'd probably still be
getting snatched off the street
525
00:26:37,334 --> 00:26:40,120
and thrown in unmarked vans
like they did those protesters
in Portland.
526
00:26:40,163 --> 00:26:42,252
Black Lightning has given
everything for this city
527
00:26:42,296 --> 00:26:43,471
and what has he asked for?
528
00:26:44,951 --> 00:26:46,735
Nothing.
529
00:26:46,779 --> 00:26:50,130
When I was a kid,
I got caught up.
530
00:26:51,174 --> 00:26:53,829
Black Lightning saved my life.
531
00:26:55,657 --> 00:26:57,833
Then he looked me
dead in my face and said,
532
00:26:57,877 --> 00:27:02,621
"Everybody deserves
a second chance."
533
00:27:02,664 --> 00:27:04,492
And told me
to get back in school
534
00:27:04,535 --> 00:27:05,667
and off the streets.
535
00:27:08,365 --> 00:27:09,236
I miss him.
536
00:27:10,672 --> 00:27:13,544
So when you talk
Black Lightning,
537
00:27:13,588 --> 00:27:15,590
you put respect
on that man's name.
538
00:27:43,357 --> 00:27:45,838
-Shonda, open door.
-[Shonda beeps]
539
00:27:47,448 --> 00:27:49,755
-[scoffs] Shonda?
-[Shonda beeps]
540
00:27:56,631 --> 00:27:58,720
Hey, I think something's wrong
with Shonda.
541
00:27:58,764 --> 00:28:00,591
Mm-mmm.
Ain't nothing wrong
with Shonda.
542
00:28:00,635 --> 00:28:02,419
I just put her
on emergency mode.
543
00:28:02,463 --> 00:28:05,814
-Why? Anissa, what's going on?
-[chuckling]
544
00:28:05,858 --> 00:28:07,555
It's a surprise.
545
00:28:09,470 --> 00:28:11,385
[Grace laughing] Okay.
546
00:28:11,428 --> 00:28:15,084
-I'm surprised.
-[Anissa chuckles]
547
00:28:15,128 --> 00:28:17,304
Good, but dinner's
not the surprise, babe.
548
00:28:18,479 --> 00:28:20,002
[Grace chuckles] What is that?
549
00:28:20,046 --> 00:28:21,961
I don't know.
You gotta open it and tell me.
550
00:28:22,875 --> 00:28:23,745
Wow.
551
00:28:30,796 --> 00:28:33,059
-[gasps] Anissa!
-[all laughing]
552
00:28:33,102 --> 00:28:35,844
Volume two, issue 16
of the Outsiders?
553
00:28:35,888 --> 00:28:38,847
-How did you--
-What, remember?
How could I forget?
554
00:28:38,891 --> 00:28:41,241
The first day we met,
you had this exact comic
555
00:28:41,284 --> 00:28:42,938
rolled up in your back pocket.
556
00:28:42,982 --> 00:28:45,549
So, to me, makes sense for me
to get you a new copy
557
00:28:45,593 --> 00:28:48,030
to signify
our new life together.
558
00:28:48,074 --> 00:28:49,902
Well, now, this is a surprise.
559
00:28:52,339 --> 00:28:54,210
Now, where do you
want to hang it?
560
00:28:54,254 --> 00:28:56,299
What do you mean, "hang it"?
561
00:28:56,343 --> 00:28:58,649
I thought your loft was a vibe
and that my stuff
didn't fit in here.
562
00:28:59,825 --> 00:29:02,915
Yes, I know I said that,
563
00:29:02,958 --> 00:29:06,048
but you know, babe,
this isn't my loft anymore.
564
00:29:06,092 --> 00:29:08,616
And it hasn't been ever since
you walked back into my life.
565
00:29:09,443 --> 00:29:10,487
This is your home.
566
00:29:12,838 --> 00:29:14,448
You're my home.
567
00:29:15,449 --> 00:29:17,233
So,
568
00:29:17,277 --> 00:29:19,801
what do you say
we go to your storage
569
00:29:19,845 --> 00:29:22,238
and get some
of your favorite things,
570
00:29:22,282 --> 00:29:25,154
and we start making this place
feel more like our place
571
00:29:26,112 --> 00:29:27,026
than my place?
572
00:29:28,810 --> 00:29:29,768
What do you say?
573
00:29:30,943 --> 00:29:33,728
I say I love you.
574
00:29:36,165 --> 00:29:37,166
I love you, too.
575
00:29:41,649 --> 00:29:43,825
-[Shonda] Anissa?
-Yes, Shonda?
576
00:29:43,869 --> 00:29:46,654
Mayor Black
is currently visiting
the Homeless Safe Zone
577
00:29:46,697 --> 00:29:49,004
with an insufficient amount
of security.
578
00:29:49,048 --> 00:29:50,571
How would you like to proceed?
579
00:29:52,660 --> 00:29:56,707
-You up for some adventure?
-[chuckles] With you? Always.
580
00:29:56,751 --> 00:29:58,318
[Anissa] Mm.
581
00:29:58,361 --> 00:29:59,232
Come on, let's go.
582
00:30:09,982 --> 00:30:11,984
[Thunder] You know
you didn't have to come,
it's just a patrol.
583
00:30:12,027 --> 00:30:14,987
[scoffs] I'd rather be
anywhere but home right now.
584
00:30:15,030 --> 00:30:17,467
But if you two
would rather be alone,
you could just say that.
585
00:30:17,511 --> 00:30:20,296
-Mm, it's not like that.
-Mm-hmm.
586
00:30:20,340 --> 00:30:23,038
How about I go patrol
the rest of the city
to give y'all some privacy?
587
00:30:23,082 --> 00:30:25,519
Jennifer, I told you,
it's not like that.
588
00:30:26,694 --> 00:30:28,696
[Thunder chuckles]
589
00:30:28,739 --> 00:30:30,393
I still don't know
why you got me
walking around in a hoodie.
590
00:30:30,437 --> 00:30:32,526
Oh, so, Miss Comic-Con
doesn't understand
591
00:30:32,569 --> 00:30:35,050
the importance
of a secret identity?
592
00:30:35,094 --> 00:30:36,573
I don't need a hoodie for that.
593
00:30:39,794 --> 00:30:42,144
I'm a walking secret identity.
594
00:30:42,188 --> 00:30:44,320
Mm, that's wild.
595
00:30:44,364 --> 00:30:46,192
I don't know
if it's scary or sexy.
596
00:30:47,106 --> 00:30:49,543
"Wylde," I like that.
597
00:30:49,586 --> 00:30:52,328
But that's your real last name,
the one you changed.
598
00:30:52,372 --> 00:30:54,896
I know. I'm reclaiming it.
599
00:30:54,940 --> 00:30:58,508
All right, girl. I see you.
Reclaim away. [chuckles]
600
00:30:58,552 --> 00:31:00,206
[Grace chuckles]
601
00:31:00,249 --> 00:31:01,250
All your men in place?
602
00:31:04,645 --> 00:31:07,909
Everybody is where
they're supposed to be, Chief.
603
00:31:07,953 --> 00:31:09,868
[Mayor Black] You know,
I had no idea
604
00:31:09,911 --> 00:31:12,000
how many families
have been displaced
by the Freeland Conflict.
605
00:31:12,044 --> 00:31:13,567
I told you, Mayor.
606
00:31:13,610 --> 00:31:17,005
-Tobias,
they're setting up for you.
-Okay.
607
00:31:17,049 --> 00:31:21,009
Mr. Mayor, could we get you
to say a few words
to the people of Freeland?
608
00:31:21,053 --> 00:31:22,793
Comfort them
in their time of need.
609
00:31:22,837 --> 00:31:25,013
You know,
that is a great idea, Tobias.
610
00:31:25,057 --> 00:31:26,580
Maybe I was wrong about you.
611
00:31:26,623 --> 00:31:29,365
Wouldn't be the first time,
won't be the last.
612
00:31:29,409 --> 00:31:31,150
-[laughing]
-Come this way.
613
00:31:46,339 --> 00:31:47,862
I'm not in the mood
to argue anymore.
614
00:31:51,170 --> 00:31:51,997
No.
615
00:31:56,697 --> 00:32:02,181
Look, I want to apologize
for my part in all of this.
616
00:32:03,878 --> 00:32:05,010
Henderson's death...
617
00:32:07,795 --> 00:32:13,279
[breathes heavily]
rocked me to my core.
618
00:32:13,322 --> 00:32:17,848
It brought up some memories
that I thought were buried
a long time ago.
619
00:32:17,892 --> 00:32:23,376
I got lost in my grief
and for that, I'm sorry.
620
00:32:28,990 --> 00:32:30,339
Look, I said some things.
621
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:36,302
And I should have told you
about Tobias
the night that it happened.
622
00:32:37,346 --> 00:32:39,261
But in my defense,
623
00:32:39,305 --> 00:32:40,654
I didn't think you were
in the right mindset
to hear it.
624
00:32:42,699 --> 00:32:44,310
Nonetheless,
I should have told you.
625
00:32:46,007 --> 00:32:47,139
But you don't have to worry.
626
00:32:49,228 --> 00:32:52,144
I have no intention
of working for that man.
627
00:32:59,151 --> 00:33:00,543
Actually, I think you should.
628
00:33:02,023 --> 00:33:03,633
How much have you had to drink?
629
00:33:03,677 --> 00:33:04,983
Oh, no. Hear me out.
630
00:33:05,026 --> 00:33:09,204
Tobias is always
one step ahead of us.
631
00:33:09,248 --> 00:33:12,033
We have to turn the tables
and get ahead of him
632
00:33:12,077 --> 00:33:14,035
for a change.
633
00:33:14,079 --> 00:33:16,603
You're asking me to play
a dangerous game, Jefferson.
634
00:33:19,258 --> 00:33:20,085
Yeah.
635
00:33:22,783 --> 00:33:24,263
But if we don't play it,
who will?
636
00:33:27,048 --> 00:33:28,180
Eyes open, people.
637
00:33:36,101 --> 00:33:37,363
You got your order assignment?
638
00:33:37,406 --> 00:33:38,929
Yeah. Got it right here.
639
00:33:42,107 --> 00:33:43,586
That's what you get
for being nosy.
640
00:33:45,110 --> 00:33:48,069
[Mayor Black]
Hello, Freelanders.
641
00:33:48,113 --> 00:33:50,419
I'm so proud
to be here with you tonight.
642
00:33:50,463 --> 00:33:53,944
We all know this past year
has been a difficult one.
643
00:33:53,988 --> 00:33:55,076
But you didn't run.
644
00:33:56,382 --> 00:33:59,211
You stayed here and you fought.
645
00:33:59,254 --> 00:34:03,041
You fought here for yourselves
and your families.
646
00:34:03,084 --> 00:34:05,565
And I'm here to tell you
that the city of Freeland
647
00:34:05,608 --> 00:34:09,047
is going to continue
to fight right beside you!
648
00:34:09,090 --> 00:34:11,962
Devonte. Light they ass up.
649
00:34:12,006 --> 00:34:14,704
Tobias doesn't live
through the night.
650
00:34:14,748 --> 00:34:16,532
-You hear that?
-Hear what?
651
00:34:16,576 --> 00:34:18,708
A car. It's accelerating.
652
00:34:18,752 --> 00:34:20,406
-[tires screeching
in the distance]
-Fast.
653
00:34:23,931 --> 00:34:26,020
[crowd screaming]
654
00:34:29,415 --> 00:34:30,633
[Lightning grunts]
655
00:34:36,987 --> 00:34:38,032
[Grace] Get down!
656
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,165
Get on the ground!
657
00:34:44,517 --> 00:34:45,431
[groans]
658
00:34:46,867 --> 00:34:47,824
This is my town.
659
00:34:50,871 --> 00:34:52,220
[Thunder] I got your back.
660
00:34:52,264 --> 00:34:53,439
-[gun clicks]
-Damn it!
661
00:34:57,791 --> 00:34:59,488
[police sirens approaching]
662
00:35:03,666 --> 00:35:05,668
Hey, let's go!
Let's go! Break up!
663
00:35:17,158 --> 00:35:18,638
What are you freaks doing here?
664
00:35:18,681 --> 00:35:20,683
Listen.
We were just trying to help.
665
00:35:20,727 --> 00:35:22,032
[Shakur]
The mayor has been shot.
666
00:35:23,730 --> 00:35:24,644
He's dead.
667
00:35:26,211 --> 00:35:29,170
[sighs] I could have gotten
to him.
668
00:35:29,214 --> 00:35:30,998
I could have protected him
if it wasn't for you.
669
00:35:32,217 --> 00:35:33,305
This is your fault.
670
00:35:52,324 --> 00:35:55,153
Did you use
Freeland PD-issued rounds
like we discussed?
671
00:35:55,196 --> 00:35:57,807
-Of course.
-Perfect.
672
00:35:57,851 --> 00:36:01,376
Now the coroner will believe
that their beloved
backbiting mayor
673
00:36:02,595 --> 00:36:03,944
was killed by friendly fire.
674
00:36:10,516 --> 00:36:11,734
And that, my friend,
675
00:36:13,258 --> 00:36:14,520
is cause for a toast.
676
00:36:16,739 --> 00:36:19,699
To the demise
of Mayor Billy Black,
677
00:36:19,742 --> 00:36:21,222
who found out firsthand
678
00:36:21,266 --> 00:36:23,181
what happens to those
who say no to the Whale.
679
00:36:27,794 --> 00:36:29,926
Ah. That's good.
680
00:36:29,970 --> 00:36:32,320
How'd you know
Lala would take the bait?
681
00:36:32,364 --> 00:36:33,713
Try and take you out?
682
00:36:33,756 --> 00:36:36,977
Because like most,
Lala's predictable.
683
00:36:38,413 --> 00:36:40,372
And predictability
can be planned for.
684
00:36:41,721 --> 00:36:44,289
Now things get
real interesting.
685
00:36:54,299 --> 00:36:56,736
[Lauren] Had it brought here
so I could work on it
in secret.
686
00:36:59,304 --> 00:37:00,870
What is it?
687
00:37:00,914 --> 00:37:03,743
You're looking at
the future of renewable energy.
688
00:37:03,786 --> 00:37:05,571
It's called
an energy field emitter.
689
00:37:05,614 --> 00:37:07,790
I got the idea from Tesla.
690
00:37:07,834 --> 00:37:11,359
He had a theory
you could transmit electricity
without wires.
691
00:37:11,403 --> 00:37:13,274
"Terrestrial resonance"
he called it.
692
00:37:13,318 --> 00:37:15,276
I know. The Wardenclyffe Tower,
693
00:37:15,320 --> 00:37:16,930
but I thought
he never completed it.
694
00:37:16,973 --> 00:37:18,366
He didn't.
695
00:37:18,410 --> 00:37:20,977
Died before his dream
was ever realized.
696
00:37:21,021 --> 00:37:22,588
Maybe it will never be.
697
00:37:22,631 --> 00:37:24,372
Why? What's the problem?
698
00:37:24,416 --> 00:37:26,548
[sighs] It's the range.
699
00:37:26,592 --> 00:37:28,158
I've been able
to generate a field,
700
00:37:28,202 --> 00:37:30,422
but only for
a few short blocks.
701
00:37:32,641 --> 00:37:35,253
Only for a few short blocks?
702
00:37:35,296 --> 00:37:36,950
Lauren, that's incredible.
703
00:37:36,993 --> 00:37:39,257
You've done something
that not even Tesla could do.
704
00:37:39,300 --> 00:37:42,999
[sighs] It's not enough.
I need to expand it somehow.
705
00:37:43,043 --> 00:37:44,566
Does anyone else
know about that?
706
00:37:44,610 --> 00:37:47,569
No, Mr. Bates asked me
to work on it himself.
707
00:37:47,613 --> 00:37:49,832
Apparently,
it's for some big partner.
708
00:37:52,226 --> 00:37:53,662
I was hoping
you could help me with it.
709
00:37:59,146 --> 00:38:01,279
[sighs] When do we start?
710
00:38:01,975 --> 00:38:03,498
[chuckles]
711
00:38:03,542 --> 00:38:05,587
[Tobias] To the fine people
of Freeland,
712
00:38:05,631 --> 00:38:08,329
tonight, we grieve
the loss of our mayor.
713
00:38:08,373 --> 00:38:10,592
But we must persevere.
714
00:38:10,636 --> 00:38:13,029
That's why
I'm personally funding
an initiative
715
00:38:13,073 --> 00:38:16,772
to double the amount
of upgraded DEGs
going to the Freeland PD.
716
00:38:16,816 --> 00:38:18,339
[Jennifer scoffs]
717
00:38:18,383 --> 00:38:20,123
[Tobias] To all who endeavor
to do us harm,
718
00:38:20,167 --> 00:38:23,692
whether The One-Hundred,
or masked vigilantes,
719
00:38:23,736 --> 00:38:27,479
we're armed
and we are ready for you.
720
00:38:32,266 --> 00:38:34,268
-[scoffs]
-[knocking on door]
721
00:38:37,358 --> 00:38:39,012
[Jefferson] Jen,
I can hear you in there.
722
00:38:43,930 --> 00:38:45,279
I heard what happened tonight.
723
00:38:47,412 --> 00:38:48,717
I'm sorry you had to see that.
724
00:38:53,287 --> 00:38:55,115
-I'm sorry for a lot of things.
-[sighs]
725
00:38:58,858 --> 00:39:00,033
This last year,
726
00:39:01,687 --> 00:39:03,341
[sighs] with Henderson's death,
727
00:39:03,384 --> 00:39:05,386
[stumbling] I lost myself.
728
00:39:07,910 --> 00:39:11,000
But I, I wouldn't be
standing here right now...
729
00:39:11,044 --> 00:39:12,741
[stumbling] I...
730
00:39:12,785 --> 00:39:16,528
I wouldn't have gotten this far
without the family.
731
00:39:23,230 --> 00:39:26,494
[inhales sharply] Look,
baby girl, I'm still, um...
732
00:39:26,538 --> 00:39:29,279
I'm still working through
some things.
733
00:39:29,323 --> 00:39:33,196
So I'm gonna need you
to bear with me
734
00:39:33,240 --> 00:39:34,850
just a little bit longer, okay?
735
00:39:34,894 --> 00:39:36,765
Uh... [inhales sharply]
736
00:39:38,463 --> 00:39:39,594
But I promise you...
737
00:39:41,596 --> 00:39:45,339
I promise you
that I will be the man
I once was.
738
00:39:48,995 --> 00:39:50,605
A man you can be proud of.
739
00:40:02,574 --> 00:40:03,401
Jen?
740
00:40:26,032 --> 00:40:27,990
[beeping]
741
00:40:35,694 --> 00:40:37,478
[TC] Lightning, you good?
742
00:40:37,522 --> 00:40:39,959
[laughs] What?
Are you spying on me now?
743
00:40:40,002 --> 00:40:42,918
I'm just checking
'cause your suit levels
are really high.
744
00:40:42,962 --> 00:40:44,964
Look, I just came up here
to clear my head. Okay?
745
00:40:45,007 --> 00:40:46,444
[chuckling] How many times
do I have to--
746
00:40:50,535 --> 00:40:51,361
[grunts]
747
00:40:53,538 --> 00:40:54,800
Wait.
748
00:40:54,843 --> 00:40:58,325
[grunts] TC,
there's something wrong.
749
00:41:01,197 --> 00:41:02,242
[screaming]
750
00:41:07,247 --> 00:41:09,684
It's too much.
It's too much. It hurts.
751
00:41:09,728 --> 00:41:11,381
-[Lightning grunting]
-[mouthing]
752
00:41:11,425 --> 00:41:13,471
[gasping]
753
00:41:19,825 --> 00:41:21,522
I... I can't move.
754
00:41:24,656 --> 00:41:25,961
I can't move.
755
00:41:26,005 --> 00:41:27,485
Come down, Lightning!
Get out of there!
756
00:41:29,661 --> 00:41:31,706
[gasps] Oh, my God.
757
00:41:31,750 --> 00:41:33,578
[gasps, breathes heavily]
758
00:41:35,841 --> 00:41:36,842
Lightning!
759
00:41:46,373 --> 00:41:47,200
Jen.
760
00:41:55,382 --> 00:41:57,384
